What merchants think

Feedback submitted

Merchants appreciate this app for its user-friendly interface and robust subscription management capabilities. It's praised for seamless Shopify integration, responsive customer support, and its role in boosting recurring revenue and customer loyalty. Features like subscription pausing are particularly valued. However, some merchants suggest enhancements in reporting and customization, and find its pricing higher than similar apps.

We had a few problems with this app and only used it for subscriptions. It kept missing subscriptions, and then the customer thought they had cancelled, and then recharged them the following month so the customer did not know where they were coming or going!

Due to the advertised price hike of the standard price going up to $99 PER MONTH we can no longer afford to use the subscription service. We were paying between $15 and $25 per month depending on subscription numbers.

As subscription box margins are tight, we can no longer afford this service and will be looking elsewhere.

Amazing app, sadly the money has gone to their heads.
We have used it for a little while now, but we received an email today outlining the new pricing we are being forced to pay as of next year. $99pmo. Unachievable for smaller businesses to stay afloat with that hefty price tag. Would have been a better move to shift things to a lower PMO amount and up the fees. We literally only use the app for its subscription functions, nothing else is used by us and we have to pay this massive price tag for features was have no interest in at all.

Daft.
Disappointed.
We will be finding a new app provider asap now so i no longer pay in to this money-hungry stupidity. Small businesses and large ones pay enough in apps as it is without this sort of hike.
good app, not worth that much, sorry it really isn't.

best of luck

Was on this app for almost 3 years. Now they say they are switching and charging everyone $99.00 a month. This created a lot of work for me now, Not happy about this.

Loved it until they sent the notice out that standard pricing is going from $0 1%+10 cents and increasing to $99/Month on 1/1/2024. That is quite a jump! Changing promptly to a different app. Why wait until January when it will make the transition more complex with more customers?

Unfortunately can't recommend this app if you already have an active subscription business. The migration is full of mistakes and no one is making sure to inform you what needs to be done when for a smooth transition. When the migration is done they just drop everything and won't even check up on charge errors from the migration. We had to discover all of these errors ourself and they are not helpfull to fix it when asked. We have lost A LOT of customers because of this migration. People are being charged wrong - either too many times or not at all when supposed to. This is your complete nightmare as a subscription business doing a migration.

Very disappointed with this app currently. The customer support team is impossible to get ahold of and there currently is an error with a recharge workflow we have created (that was set up correctly and verified by their support team) but it is flawed and firing orders off at the wrong date.

Endless problems the past 4 years. Zero customer support. Default response to any issue is "user error". We've lost tens of thousands of dollars due to issues with this software.

Hi - I have never written a bad review in my life. If I don't have anything nice to say, I don't say anything I just spend my money elsewhere. This APP is SOOOOO problematic. Customers cannot tune their deliveries themselves just for starters. But the reason I am writing this review is because THIS APP is making my buy box disappear on multiple product listings. We have asked for help mulitple times. Here is their answer: XYZ here with Recharge, thanks for reaching out. Adding a Quick View to your store theme requires custom code for your Shopify storefront and is not supported by ReCharge as per our design policy. It depends on your Shopify store theme, how it's coded with JavaScript, and what Quick View apps you use on your storefront. If you require further assistance, visit the ReCharge Partner Directory for a list of development agencies that can help build out a custom solution. This is their solution to their App whose purpose is to assure you get more orders, all the while it is deleting your add to cart button. STAY AWAY. ONCE YOU USE IT, YOU WILL HAVE CUSTOMERS RELYING ON THEIR AUTOSHIP WHICH MAKES IT HARD TO DELETE. I would give negative stars if I could.

We have been with Recharge for years and are now looking for another app to provide recurring payments. They do not provide adequate customer service and do not respond to urgent requests. They advertise that they offer video calls and will assist in the case of a total site shut down, and they do not. Our subscription products stopped working randomly on a Friday afternoon and they told us they will be back to work Monday and will help us then. In the meantime, we are unable to sell products and have a massive marketing campaign running. Our inbox is full of customers wanting to purchase and we cannot serve them because of Recharge's issue. They will not respond to emails. We are severely disappointed and frustrated and do not recommend that a business relying on recurring revenue use this app.

Extremely unhelpful support. We have payment issues because of API expiration on ReCharge's end during BFCM. Sounds urgent? Haven't heard from them until now, and supports keep out of office. It's simply reconnecting the API, but it seems they are not really concerned about this systems instability and merchant loss from it.
